All three are busted cold. Sosa was the biggest cheater baseball has seen. He's been busted with corked bats twice, caught doing steroids and suspected of other violations.
What is sad is both Bonds and McGwire were Hall of Famers without the steroids. All they did was hurt thier own careers. McGwire especially who was too strong and hurt his back repeatedly from being stronger than his frame could hold. McGwire's swing was designed ot hit a home run. If he weighed 98 lbs and was using a limp noodle that swing would have hit home runs. The mechanics of it were sheer genius. Bonds was one of the offensive players of our time. His use of steroids just cheapened records he would not have broken. Instead of being known as one of the all time great hitters Bonds is now just another cheater. His records should be struck from the record book and I will oppose any effort to put any of these three in the hall of fame.

Mark Mcguire came out publicly and said "I took steroids, but at the time they weren't illegal" (Or something close to that.) Last time I checked The prosecution for Barry Bonds had found game enhancing drugs in an old closed down lab that he used to go to with his old manager or someone like that. In the book "The Game Of Shadows" (i think it's called.) They apparently have a convo between Barry and Sammy were Barry tells Sammy he's gonna take steroids. And the fact that he was extremely skinny at the start of his career and is now humongous. Sammy Sosa I have no idea though.

Maguire took "performance enhancing" over the counter drugs.He admitted it.They were not in any way a "banned" substance when he was taking them.
Sosa I don't know and Bonds I have no doubt.Too many people have come out to say they saw him actually shooting up the old fashioned way with them.
And after 3 knee surgeries he had to have been injected with them there because that is what they use for the strengthening before , during, or after, physical therapy.
Too bad they won't test him regularly to prove it.

I am not a nutritionist nor a pharmacist so I'm not quite sure how steroids are classified.I don't think steroids are illegal.I could be mistaken.One thing's for certain they are illegal if you play in MLB.If they did take steroids which I believe they did, then they did something that was illegal
to do in baseball whether or not it is an illegal drug.

No. And neither did Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley, George W. Bush, Ozzy Osborne, or Cheech and Chong.

YES. LOOK AT THEM IN THEIR EARLY STAGES OF THEIR CAREERS AND LOOK AT THEM NOW. THEY WERE ALL SKINNY AND NOT MUCH HOME RUN POWER. LOOK AT HOW THEY ARE NOW OR IN THE LATER PART OF THEIR CAREERS.

Until there's concrete evidence, no, I do not.

If they didn't, why would there be all kinds of stories about it?
